One of the main hardware differences between a server and a PC is the way in which the hard disks are arranged. Servers typically have what is known as RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks - it should actually be expensive disks!).
As far as gaming is concerned you will be fine with a PC provided it has a fast processor and lots of RAM. If you have a server with RAID or a PC with just a normal hard disk you will not notice any difference in speed of play.
RAM is going to be the biggest factor in your gaming. Servers often use different types of RAM as opposed to PCs but the RAM in PCs is better geared toward gaming.
